srvr

Simple HTTP file server

So simple, even the vowels are not needed

Features

• Supports gzipped/brotlied files next to regular file
• All files are kept in memory to reduce disk access

Usage

Local install

Via Cargo

cargo install srvr

Or use the git repo for the latest version

git clone git@github.com:justim/srvr.git
cd srvr
cargo install --path .

When the binary is available, using it is simple; everything is optional:

Serve files in a directory on a HTTP endpoint

Usage: srvr [OPTIONS] [BASE_DIR]

Arguments:
  [BASE_DIR]  The directory to serve to the world [default: .]

Options:
  -a, --address <ADDRESS>  The address to run srvr on, defaults to 127.0.0.1:12234
  -p, --port <PORT>        The port to run srvr on, defaults to 12234 (overrides `address`)
  -h, --help

Docker

Runnig with Docker is also possible; make sure to expose the port and inject a volume.

docker build --tag srvr .
docker run --rm --interactive --tty --publish 12234:80 --volume ./:/var/srvr srvr

Completions

Generating completions can be done by running the binary with the --generate-shell-completions <shell> option. There is support for bash, elvish, fish, powershell and zsh.

srvr --generate-shell-completions fish

The output of the command should be saved in the appropriate location for your shell.
